[2005] Positioning two controls hlp plz!

Hi Peeps,

I have a hyperlink control which is set as position absolute; this hyperlink can be up to two lines so I made the box that size. Underneath I have a label which holds text; my problem is if the hyperlink is only one line I end up with a gap between it an my label. I want the label to move down if it needs to.

If I shrink the hyperlink so it is big enough for just one line it drops to two if needed; so I moved my label up but the hyperlink overrides it.

Any ideas please,

Jiggy!

Put a label in the middle, call it something nice, like lblBr. Set it's text to "<br>". When you need the extra break, just make it visible. If you don't need it, make it invisible.

Use DIVs. Use Tables. Use something that can expand in size and pushes the elements below it as well!

Hi mate,

I have them in divs but it does not push the div below down. Is there a property you can set?

Cheers,

Look for float, position, clear.

Nope still can't get the div below to move down if the div above grows.

I have the same problem with text and an image. I have a label which overlaps an image and I want to populate the label from a database and have the text go around the image.

Any Ideas Please!!!!

I'm not king of the divs, but

Code:

---

<div style="position:inline;left:20px;top:15px;clear:both;">
asfldjsalfksajfsaldfkjasf<br/><br/><br/>
asfkdlasjflkasjfalskfaslfjsa
</div>
<div>
My other div
</div>

---

Thanks mate!

Add resolved, and the rest. Y'know what to do :)

Hi Mate,

Your filling the text in the div and I am using a hyperlink control and label.

Cheers,

Jiggy!
